trying to avoid the macs. dont really NEED OS X. wondering if there are viable alternatives

  I think you'll find Windows based alternatives to be comparatively priced to be honest. And you really can't do better than the Macbooks trackpad. But I'll second the XPS13 dev edition, or at least waiting to see how it'll do.

    you are right. the windows laptops are competitively priced but seem to lack a lot in terms of battery life and overall longevity, which is sad. razr blade seems good but is as expensive as mbp, if not more. guess i will have to either wait to see if xps 13 dev ed comes out or the broadwell 15" mbp refresh.

    Seconding the trackpad part of this. If you're going to be using the computer anywhere other than a desk, Apple has by far the most usable trackpads. Not sure why no other manufacturer has figured this out yet since it's been the state of the industry for years now

      +1 on trackpads
